I think you're confusing this with the more classic "it's not X, but Y" trope. That sentence is a comma splice that I'd expect LLMs to avoid by default.

Not sure how to square this post with recent headlines like "SoftBank posts $46 billion gain at Vision Fund driven mainly by massive OpenAI bet".

Figure 03 is 134 pounds. 1x NEO (the only one really designed for household usage) is 66 pounds. Unitree R1 is 55 pounds. None of these are ready for real work yet but probably at some point in the future we will have practical humanoids.

In a competitive market, this won't happen: "passing along more of the value to major shareholders like myself." The price of human labor will go down, but competition will force the price of goods to go down alongside it. Profit margins will stabilize, but the cost of living and the cost of goods will plummet. It's like the invention of the power loom: it was terrible for the wages of hand-weavers, but it made clothing radically cheaper and more abundant for the rest of humanity. The only way the shareholders keep all the value is if we allow monopolies to form.

The potential difference here is that it might eliminate all human labor which would likely force us into some new kind of economy. Hopefully something better than one where humans waste their lives on manual labor.

Where are you getting "after they corrected for multiple testing the significance of 2 of those disappeared"? The text you quoted says, of the three, one disappeared and two remained.

The author is also not very good at interpreting data himself. He claims "the AI number is padded by counting Googlebot twice" and links to [1], but there is nothing on that page that could support that assertion. It looks like he misinterpreted this part: "Googlebot crawls for both search indexing and AI training and is included as a separate entry due to its crawl volume" (Googlebot was NOT included in the "AI bot" count, so it was not counted twice.)

No, "tend" means "incline" here, but the normal grammatical reading of the sentence does not suggest wives have profligate tendencies.

Judging by her Twitter, she has renamed herself "Major General Musk" (claiming to be the wife of Elon) and appointed herself as CEO of Discord and "Unicode" while claiming to be the first "Jewslim."

OPEC has no rules requiring its members to sell oil in US dollars. Iran and Venezuela are members of OPEC.

Let me just repeat that: "Microsoft" came to your school in 2002 and "confidently stated" that AI had been solved. Really interesting story.

Can you elaborate? As far as I understand, for each message, the LLM is fed the entire previous conversation with special tokens separating the user and LLM responses. The LLM is then entrusted with interpreting the tokens correctly. I can't imagine any architecture where the LLM is not ultimately responsible for determining what messages came from who.

Yes. I really think this piece is an AI-generated hallucination. Look at the table of "AI Predictions vs. Operational Reality" for example; that's classic ChatGPT style. An interesting irony.

This reads like an AI-generated hit piece on AI. "According to Bloomberg, CNN, and the Soufan Center, AI simulations run before February 28 produced projections of overwhelming success for a decapitation strike against Tehran." - can anyone find anything like this in Bloomberg, CNN, or the Soufan Center? I tried and could not. Seems like fiction inspired by the known fact that Claude was used for targetting and so on.

The author commented on their ko-fi: "there isn't much to say that would require a big writeup - a lot of the code is already reversed, and anything that's missing can be yoinked from ghidra decomp output and cleaned up, so it's just a matter of transpiling to a different language. plus much of the game's proprietary formats are thoroughly documented by the modding community. time consuming but quite easy if you're just patient haha"

   rmdir /s /q Z:\ETSY 2025\Antigravity Projects\Image Selector\client\node_modules.vite

Running this command in cmd attempts to delete (I ran without /q to check):

Z:\ETSY (-> Deletes if it exists.)

"2025\Antigravity" (-> The system cannot find the path specified.)

"Projects\Image" (-> The system cannot find the path specified.)

"Selector\client\node_modules.vite" (-> The system cannot find the path specified.)

It does not delete the Z:\ drive.

"The latest survey data available, compiled by researchers at CAS, revealed that most experts hold negative attitudes towards LLM development"

Let's check the source...[1]

"The survey was conducted in 2021 from May to July."
